I’m a 21 F and i currently live in the Midwest. Lately I’ve been thinking to move to a bigger city (CA, FL, NYC). Are there any tips from those who made the move or those who currently live in the bigger cities of those states? It would be after covid of course.

Idk where in FL you mean but California and NYC save save save. You’re going to need a lot of money up front to move in. Like 3-4x rent, to pay first, last, security, sometimes brokers fees. It may be different post covid if demand is lower etc but that is the biggest shock to a lot of people I think. The price to just get started

Florida varies between cities. Miami is completely different from a Tampa or Orlando, even Ft. lauderdale. It depends on the city you’d want to live in and what kind of lifestyle you’re looking for

Discovered major pay difference between myself and two new male hires with equal experience. Asked for a raise and was shot down due to Covid and essentially told they make more (were talking a 30k) bc they don’t have my “other responsibilities” aKa my two kids. I know my productivity is effected by parental responsibility but I don’t feel that alone justifies the difference. I know our billable output isn’t drastically different. Not sure what my next steps should be and welcome any advice.

I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
